Planning Commission had constituted a High Level Group on Services on 4th May, 2007 under the Chairmanship of Anwarul Hoda, Member, Planning Commission for comprehensively examining the different aspects influencing the performance of the services sector. The Report of the Group was released on 2nd April, 2008.
The Group selected six sub-sectors of the Services Sector viz., IT & IT enabled Services, Tourism, Shipping, Health Services, Financial Services and Retail Trading for detailed examination. While the needs of each sub-sector are unique in many respects, the Group felt that action on three fronts was critical for enhancing the competitiveness of the services sector. The education system must be reformed and expanded, the skill deficit in almost all service sectors must be eliminated through concerned action and the physical infrastructure including the urban infrastructure and civic amenities brought to world standards.
